I just wonder what words those who fucking swear all the time and shit? use to express anger, emphasize sexual context, deliberately offend somebody, etc. I use controlled swear words, they are not a habit in my vocabulary, if I´m caught using them, there´s something wrong, unless I´m using them in a sexual context. I´m not offended however by other´s over-usage of them, I just don´t relate.

Quote:Don't get me wrong, I "curse" to, but in front of an appropriate audience!

I have to agree with Ravenheal.Your vocabulary plays a big part of Lesser Magic, and there's a time and place for it. Who in their right mind interviews a guttermouth for an office position and says "You're the guy! Can you start Monday?"

Don't get me wrong, I can fling curses (not only in English but Spanish & Italian as well!) with the best of 'em, and the only time I deem it offensive is when it's inappropriate, like yelling at a kid, for example.

Hearing it on tv or a movie is no biggie because it's a reflection of real life. Sometimes a well-placed "F-Word" can make the dialogue even funnier!

I personally have NO problem with them.Its just a word, what makes those so special?maybe if i could go back in time, and choose some goofy word and use it enough, would it be censored on tv, or considered offensive.But, different person, Different opinion.Since they ARE considered offisive though, i do find it wrong if i hear some kid tryin to cuss me out.I dont really curse that often, but when i do, it comes in mass quantities

"Curse words" are linguistic illusions created by society. Just like the wide variety of gods, their power exists within the individual's mentality. People who are more self-enlightened are generally able to look past these words and get to the root of the message, though there does tend to be that "annoyance" when the word is over used or misused. People who are most confused or slaves to their society/religion tend to be literally afraid of these words: so much so that they'll create elaborate, money-sucking organizations to protect their offspring from ever hearing such a word even once (as if), rather than educating their young ones not to take the words to heart. Vulgarity is an important part of any language: in the proper contex, it serves its purpose, just like the word "pudding" or "bicycle". (shrug) And it's good for talking dirty.

I love your answer. I think you have a great Satanic perspective to the topic.

Molly Midnight doesn’t break things very often.Actually it’s fun thinking of new expostulations. Words are, after all, my stock-in-trade.May I suggest that calling an animal Satan is not a good idea. Don’t be obvious. Choose a title for your pet that makes the sheeple say: “what a beautiful/interesting name!” Then enjoy hearing them saying it without understanding.My Lady of Darkness sits there, placidly washing a paw, sharing her secret with only me.HAIL SATAN!Magda
